Chapter 210 Harden up

As a result of the discussions among the four parties, there was no result.

The sky was getting dark, Chen Xiuzhu returned to his yard, his face was darker than the sky.

"Your Highness," a counselor said, "Your subordinates have been observing from the sidelines. I feel that among the three generals, Xiao is the one who is most looking forward to sending troops to rescue Baekje, followed by Tian Hongyan of the Yanhui Legion, and finally Huangshi of Zhenbei Pass. Tao..."

Someone next to him shook his head.

"Your Highness, the Japanese pirates did not raid the coast as usual and then retreat. They even attacked the capital of Baekje with great fanfare. It seems that they are determined to occupy the peninsula. Therefore, there will not be too few people who will land later. "

"And Uncle Xiao only led [-] East China Sea defenders. The number is too small. Even if he is willing to send troops, it may not help."

"Yes!" The others nodded in agreement, "At least one of the Beihai Pass or the Yanhui Legion must be won, so that we can surely win if we send troops."

Otherwise, it would be better to stay here in Beihaiguan to enjoy the scenery.

The capital city of Baekje, Seoul.

Li Chengde's legs gave way and he fell back on the throne.

"It's over, Baekje is over! My Li family is going to be over!"

Before sending three requests for help in a row, there was no movement from Yunchui.He had already prepared in his heart, and when he heard the exact news, he still couldn't help but feel chills in his heart.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Prime Minister Wang Mingzhi hurriedly came over to comfort him: "As the saying goes, it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for help. We must first strengthen ourselves, and secondly, we must show our attitude to the outside world. Let all the people be united, stick to the capital, and never give up until the last moment."

"Only in this way can Baekje usher in a turning point."

"The prime minister is right!" Li Chengde straightened his back.

His Li family has been the king of Baekje for so many years, and he is not a vegetarian.

Furthermore, if Baekje gave up first, even if Yunchui next door wanted to come to rescue him, there would be no need to send troops.

Wang Mingzhi heaved a sigh of relief, "It's the best if your majesty thinks so."

"Actually, we don't need to wait for the support of the Yunchui people. No one will do anything that is not beneficial. They came all the way to save us, and they will ask for some benefits. Maybe they will ask for more than those outside the city. There are more Japanese pirates."

Li Chengde was startled, and soon became thoughtful.

Both Baekje and Japanese pirates are small countries.In the past years, the two countries have often fought at the seaside, and each side has its own winners and losers.

It can be said that the strength of the two countries is about the same.

It's just that after the Japanese pirates landed this time, they neither plundered the surrounding towns nor cared about their own casualties. The goal was very clear to hit Seoul.

Caught off guard, Baekje has been defeated repeatedly, while the Japanese pirates are invincible all the way.

Only then did Li Chengde panic, and all he could think about was to rescue the suzerain country, so he sent three distress letters to the North Customs.

Now that Beihai Customs has clearly rejected the request to send troops, he had to calm down and think about the way out, and soon came back to his senses.

Coincidentally, Wang Mingzhi also said: "The Japanese pirates attacked from across the sea. With his broken men and tools, it will not take a year or so to break through my capital. Therefore, the capital and the king are very safe."

Li Chengde heaved a sigh of relief, but soon he frowned again.

"Having said that, if the Japanese pirates surround Seoul for a day, the people in the city will not be able to go out to farm, and sooner or later they will starve to death."

Wang Mingzhi shook his head: "Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates came so suddenly that we were caught off guard. Now our troops are rushing to rescue them from all directions. They won't be around for long."

Li Chengde glanced at the veteran in front of him and remained silent.

What Wang Mingzhi said sounded good, but Baekje had a small number of people and had lost so many battles before, so there might not be many soldiers who could rush over to rescue them.

It is estimated that the siege of the capital cannot be solved.

Wang Mingzhi raised his eyes and quickly added: "The king is relieved. Except for the soldiers who rushed here, the weather has been very strange in recent years."

He said: "July is coming soon, and when the Mid-Autumn Festival in August is over, Baekje is expected to turn cold, even ice and snow. Even if the Japanese pirates want to continue to attack the city, I am afraid they will be powerless."

"Indeed!" Li Chengde finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but look up at the sky.

What the hell is going on here?
The cloud in the middle is that floods, droughts, locust plagues, even earthquakes, and epidemics took place in turn, exhausting the treasury of Emperor Changxing.

Xiliang Grassland is getting hotter and hotter, but Beixiong is getting colder and colder.The people of Xiliang were forced to advance eastward, and the Beixiong army went southward.

The Japanese pirates in the east were even worse than them.

The volcano of the Undead Mountain has been erupting violently, and the four main islands are covered with volcanic ash everywhere, covering the sky, and the air is full of sulfurous smell, which is suffocating.

Even the people who farmed the land died, and the fish were killed, and they were almost alive...

Speaking of this, Wang Mingzhi bowed to the ground.

"Your Majesty, forgive me." He was ashamed. "When the volcano erupted in the territory of the Japanese pirates and continued to erupt, the old minister should have expected that they would go west in the future, intending to occupy our land and resettle their people."

"However, the old minister ignored..."

"The Prime Minister is serious." Li Chengde smiled wryly and waved his hands. "Baekje and the Japanese pirates are separated by an ocean, and the news from the two places is not well informed. We can't predict what natural and man-made disasters will happen over there."

He sighed.

"And even if the Emperor of the Japanese pirates wants to find a new place to comfort the people, the Yunchui with vast land and rich resources is a better target. With the usual temper of the emperors, as long as they send someone to Xingji City to flatter them, they may get a piece of it." The place came out for the Japanese pirates to recuperate."

Of course, the premise is that the Japanese pirates bow their heads and accept their ministers, and they will obediently become Yunchui people from then on.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese pirates were unwilling to bow their heads and surrender, so they had to turn around and bully the weak Baekje.

"Pass down the king's order," Li Chengde stood up suddenly, and drew out his sword with a whoosh.

"The volcano erupted on the Japanese pirates' land, and there is no way to retreat. They attacked our land to fight for a new homeland. If Baekje does not fight, the country will perish, so no one should take chances."

"At this time, the subjects of Baekje, regardless of class status, should stand firmly with the soldiers. Everyone must be prepared to go to the battlefield, and fight the Japanese pirates with one heart. At the same time, order the national army to speed up to the capital and the eastern coast. Go ahead."

"Let's do our best to compare with the stray dogs that come across the sea to see whose bones are stronger!"

The news of Baekje quickly spread to Beihai Customs. After Xiao Zheng and several other leading generals had read it, they continued to rush to Xingji City.

Close, Qi Wang Chen Xiuzhu's yard.

"Your Highness," a counselor beamed with joy, and couldn't help but say, "Baekje and the Japanese pirates are on par in strength, and it seems to be hardening at this moment."

"This country is just like people. Only with a strong backbone can we stand upright. If we persuade General Xiao to send troops at this time, maybe the [-] Donghai defenders will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. We can join Baekje together." It's easy to beat the Japanese pirates back into the sea."

Chen Xiuzhu touched his bare chin excitedly.

"It's gone." Someone beside him shook his head and sneered.

"Your Highness, as the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but those who are horizontal are afraid of death."

"Baekje is hardened, but given their nature of sending distress letters but not resistance, it's hard to say how hard it is. Maybe it's like a bubble, and the Japanese pirates will burst it with a light poke in a few days. ?”

"The Japanese pirates' homeland is no longer inhabitable, and they have no place to retreat except to fight to the death."

"So it's hard to say who has the upper hand in this battle."
